Braves Quote For The Day II

by gondeee on Jan 22, 2010 10:03 PM EST in Braves Quote For The Day

He felt a pop in his left wrist on April 10, his last at-bat in the home opener against Washington.

Since then, Jordan Schafer has totaled 55 games played, 187 at-bats, 69 strikeouts, 36 hits, two home runs (both in Triple-A), 13 RBI, an unspecified number of cortisone injections, one wrist surgery and only-he-knows-how-many tattoos (both arms are now completely covered in ink from elbow to shoulder.)

Those are the first two sentences of a David O'Brien blog post about the last young outfielder who tried to make the majors for the Braves. A lot of good info on Schafer and his most recent comeback. He's a determined kid, he's still young, and he should still have all that promise we had in him before last season. I would say that he'll fly under the radar this spring, but he's too flamboyant for that to happen.

Tattoos?

All over his arms? That’s not creepy at all…

I can live with that. I am just here to educate the masses.

It says he had a stress fracture, which should finally settle the debate on whether or not he broke it. Sometimes those can be worse than a clean break.

MP will debate that, I’m sure.

I love that guy. For whatever reason I have a huge man-crush on Schafer. And he’s from Indiana to boot!

I really like Logan a lot. This kid has had a ton to deal with in such a young career. I hope Atlanta doesn’t package him up and ship him off!

THIS

There is no way we can give up on this guy, I hope. I is/was a five star prospect at a position that extemely hard to find quality players at. Midmarket teams cannot give up on these kinds of guys expecially when the only time he has failed hard was when his wrist was broken.

It makes me laugh to hear people talk about how poorly he played last year. This seems to always come from people that couldn’t play the game as well as this kid did with a broken wrist!

Anyone with more than 5 braincells who has given up on this kid is nuts and deserves to take a nosedive from the top of the Empire State building onto a bed of nails while strapped to Kirstie Alley.
